Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pumpkin steamed or boiled
- 1½ cup raw walnuts ground
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1½ cup regular pitted dates
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place the cooked pumpkin, dates, and orange juice in a food processor and blend until smooth puree forms.
- In a large bowl combine the pumpkin mixture with the other ingredients (fine rolled oats, ground walnuts, baking powder, chia seeds, and cinnamon). Stir everything well with a spoon. Leave it aside for 10-15 mins, until the oats are moistened a bit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take about one tablespoon of the mixture, put it on the baking sheet and gently press it down to flatten it slightly. Smooth the edges a little bit with the spoon. Now, your cookie is ready. Keep in mind to leave a little space between the cookies as they will rise a bit while they bake.
- Bake for about 20 mins. Let them cool for a while.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- When I use pitted dates, I soak them in warm water for 10 mins as they are a little bit drier. Thus they become softer and are chopped easily.
